For anyone interested in Bonsai (great outliner, great features list - I’ll keep on using it on my PC even after Palm and its works have sunk into hardware history): Bonsai copes very well with long notes.

On the PC, Bonsai allows a right-hand notes panel which can be as big or as small as needed. The note can contain clickable file links and urls. I’ve just added a 4000 word note; it transferred over to my palm pda without any problems.

Only “very well”? It doesn’t do enriched text, rich text, rtf etc. Spell check. But no word count. So not quite there for serious writing.

As well as long lists with pretty long notes - books I’m reading, films I’ve seen etc, I use Bonsai for Getting Things Done (GTD): http://www.outlinersoftware.com/messages/viewm/3073

For this, IMHO, it’s far better than LinkPro: http://www.outlinersoftware.com/messages/viewm/3091
